andreas Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 We blocked up an opening in an internal wall. The wall either side has cement base and plaster finish. We are going to match the depth of the cement base both sides and then skim the entire wall completely but is there anything that I need to do to "join" the new bit into the old. The plastered edge of the existing opening was knocked off before the block work was built up and wall starters used both sides to join the closure to the original either side but there is still a very straight line to the old plaster & cement base. An opening that had been originally been blocked up has a clear hairline crack around the opening, I would like to avoid the same happening here.

Super_Paulie Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Could knock the cement base off and plasterboard it? Or just cover any join with scrim and get spreadin, seems relatively straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
